The Cousin from Nowhere

Approved

The heart of young Julia de Weert beats for her cousin Roderich, to whom she swore allegiance seven years ago. Since then, however, he has been in the Far East, in something, and she is longingly waiting for his return. She is not interested in other men, such as August, the nephew of her uncle and guardian Josef Kuhbrot. Uncle Julia wants to be married to him so that her dowry stays in the family. Good advice is expensive! When the long-awaited Roderich finally appeared in person on Julia's 18th birthday, she was very disappointed: Roderich hadn't even thought of her in those years! But the thing also has its good side, because Julia can now admit to herself that she actually fell in love with the mysterious stranger who suddenly appeared on her birthday...
Eduard Künneke's operetta »Der Vetter aus Dingsda« had its premiere in Berlin in 1921 and became his most successful stage play. Her cheeky wit, her lively rhythms, which were influenced by modern American light music at the time, and a number of catchy melodies still promise all-round pleasure today.

By the way: According to Duden, »Dingsda« is used »as a substitute for any noun, often a name (usually because the person speaking is unable to think of a specific word)«. This is how it is in Künneke's operetta »Der Vetter aus Dinsgda«: The city »Batavia«, where they have thought that cousin Roderich has been in for seven years, is too far removed from their own living environment for everyone. I just can't remember the name! And so one speaks simply of »things there«. Batavia was the capital of the Dutch East Indies until Indonesian independence in the 1940s.
